Big Brother Canada 5 CAST ANNOUNCEMENT

Dubbed "Second Chancers" vs. "First Timers", we also know this year's theme is "SPACE". Yes, I will have more info to follow, including my thoughts and favourites on both sides.

SECOND CHANCERS:

Gary “Glitter” LevyAge: 25Hometown: Toronto, ONCurrently living: Ajax, ONOccupation: ArtistBBCAN background: The first runner up in the inaugural season of Big Brother Canada, Gary would have taken the BBCAN crown if fellow Season 1 houseguest, and his closest ally, Topaz hadn’t mistakenly voted for rival Jillian to win instead of him. Talk about misunderstanding the voting process!Second chance strategy: “First and foremost, I’m going to reiterate the voting instructions when I get to the final two: ‘Houseguests, vote for the person you WANT to win!’”

Neda KalantarAge: 25Hometown: Vancouver, BCCurrently living: Vancouver, BCOccupation: Fashion Stylist and EntrepreneurBBCAN background: The victim of friendship gone wrong, Neda made it to the final three in Season 2 but her game was cut short by her closest friend in the BBCAN house, Jon, when he won the final HOH and evicted her in the finale.Second chance strategy: “Last time I went in and laid low for the first few weeks. I can’t do that now. I have a reputation going in. I will cut anyone I need to cut this season and I won’t look back.”

Kevin MartinAge: 24Hometown: Calgary, ABCurrently living: Calgary, ABOccupation: Professional Poker Player and Content CreatorBBCAN background: One of the first houseguests to be evicted as a result of a triple eviction, Kevin is also the first houseguest in BBCAN history to be evicted without receiving any eviction votes against him. Ouch.Second chance strategy: “The first time I played I thought having good social game was just getting along with everyone, but it turned out to be a little shallow. This time I want to get to know people deeper on a personal level.”

Bruno IeloAge: 33Hometown: Ottawa, ONCurrently living: Ottawa, ONOccupation: Construction WorkerBBCAN background: The first houseguest to win the Power of Veto during a triple eviction, Bruno lasted eight weeks without a single eviction nomination. But the father of two was ultimately evicted in a coup d’état twist that put him on the block and lead to his departure from the BBCAN house.Second chance strategy: “I don’t have a set strategy. I need to meet everybody, see what they’re about, see the personalities, learn their strengths and weaknesses and use those against them.”

Ika WongAge: 32Hometown: Montego Bay, JamaicaCurrently living: Thornhill, ONOccupation: Financial Services ManagerBBCAN background: This sassy and unapologetic Season 2 houseguest is responsible for one of the most talked about moments in BBCAN history – shredding her fellow houseguests’ letters from loved ones in exchange for $5000. But Ika shredded her chances to win along with those letters and was ultimately evicted in near unanimous vote.Second chance strategy: “The last time I played, I was like, I’m going to win! I’m going to slay them. This time, I just don’t want to go home first! I’m going to take it week by week. Last time I couldn’t shake my strategy and I think that hurt me.”

Dallas CormierAge: 25Hometown: Saint John, NBCurrently living: Edmonton, ABOccupation: Lobster Fisherman and WelderBBCAN background: Dallas’ fatal move was not participating in fellow houseguest Tim’s nomination process, which gave each houseguest nomination points in the form of gummy koalas. As a result, Dallas received the most koalas of any houseguest, he was put on the block, and his alliance was targeted, making him the first male evicted in Season 4. Who knew gummy koalas could be so dangerous!Second chance strategy: “You can’t have a stone cold strategy before you see your fellow houseguests. You have to be a chameleon and adapt to your surroundings in the BBCAN house. I’m really going to try to get to know people better this time because the people I thought I knew well last time were the ones who voted me out.”

Sindy NguyenAge: 27Hometown: Huntsville, ONCurrently living: Toronto, ONOccupation: Beauty QueenBBCAN background: Despite being a competition beast, Sindy’s self-assured attitude and cocky demeanour put a target on her back from day one. She was one of the first five evicted houseguests in Season 3, and holds the record for the most eviction votes ever received by a houseguest in a single eviction.Second chance strategy: “I’m more aware of how to compete. Hopefully I won’t go in and make myself such a target this time. I really want to work on my social game and improve how I approach relationships in the house.”

Cassandra ShahinfarAge: 23Hometown: Winnipeg, MBCurrently living: Winnipeg, MBOccupation: Marketing ManagerBBCAN background: A strong social game couldn’t save Cassandra from the dreaded triple eviction. After the brothers won the Power of Veto Cassandra found herself on the block with Tim and ultimately evicted.Second chance strategy: “I still want to ride the middle, and analyze everyone in the house. I still want to say what I need to say to get through each week, and play to each person. But I want them to think I’m this new, different, settled person. Everyone knows how I do things, so that will be my biggest challenge.”

FIRST TIMERS:

Andre “Dre” GwenaelleAge: 25Hometown: Montreal, QCCurrently living: Montreal, QCOccupation: Masters StudentBrains, beauty and a sassy attitude make this masters student a force to be reckoned with. But don’t mistake her lack of strategy for not being prepared – Dre is heading into the BBCAN house flexible enough to adapt to any situation.

Mark ChryslerAge: 24Hometown: Edmonton, ABCurrently living: Edmonton, ABOccupation: BartenderThis fun, outgoing, fitness-lover has a two-pronged strategy when it comes to winning over the houseguests, and winning the game – dominate the physical challenges and use his charm to up his social game.

William Laprise DesbiensAge: 23Currently living: Trois-Rivieres, QCHometown: Trois-Rivieres, QCOccupation: Marketing Student & BloggerEven though William plans to use his French accent as his secret weapon to confuse houseguests, this French-Canadian is ultimately trying to be himself and have fun in the house…but if he has to do a little backstabbing in the process he will!

Emily HawkinAge: 23Hometown: Lindsay, ONCurrently living: Toronto, ONOccupation: Musician & ServerThis “really freaking single” singer-songwriter has contemplated several strategies before going into the BBCAN5 house, but is holding out until the first HOH competition to decide on her plan of attack.

Demetres GiannitsosAge: 24Hometown: Edson, ABCurrently living: Edson, ABOccupation: Oil Field Instrument TechnicianThis confident, self-professed beefcake nicknamed “The Greek” loves to workout and grab attention from the ladies, but he’s looking to align with fellow alpha males early in the competition to make it to end.

Karen SingbeilAge: 53Hometown: Kansas City, MOCurrently living: Victoria, BCOccupation: Real Estate BrokerHaving lived on both sides of the border, this mother of three thinks her ability to adapt will give her an edge in the BBCAN5 house, with her personal motto of “go hard, go big, or go home” keeping her going.

Dillon CarmanAge: 30Hometown: Madoc, ONCurrently living: Madoc, ONOccupation: Heavyweight BoxerThis professional boxer and current Canadian Heavyweight Champion is a strong and powerful competitor, but a teddy bear at heart. But houseguests shouldn’t let his soft side fool them – Dillon works best under pressure and his mental strength matches his physical strength.

Jackie McCurrachAge: 22Hometown: Port Coquitlam, BCCurrently living: Port Coquitlam, BCOccupation: Professional Pizza MakerFun, outgoing, and silly, this fiery redhead is a guys’ girl that’s focusing on keeping her head in the game and improving her mental strength when she gets into the BBCAN house.

Amazing Race Canada 5

A little bit about me...

This whole blogging thing started when I first heard the Bachelor franchise was coming to Canada. "Geez, screw that. Someone has to make fun of this stuff," I said to myself.

So, I started. Then the landslide began. Along came Big Brother Canada and The Amazing Race Canada.

I actually don't watch a lot of TV but when I do, I have been known to get a tad....involved. Besides TARC and BBCan, I can be found in my spot watching The Walking Dead, FearTWD, The Big Bang Theory, GoT, and Outlander. Others come and go as TPTB see fit. R.I.P Mad Men and Downton Abbey.
